Is the EVO too big for a belt holster?

[timlot]

I plan on ordering my case by friday, but cant decide if I should go with a belt holster or a pocket case like this one HTC HD2, HTC EVO 4G Messenger Vertical Pouch
I currently carry a mogul on my side which is not too big but is thick and hangs out about 2 or 3 inches. Any suggestions?

I think it may be too big. That pouch looks good.

I used to carry a Helio Ocean on my belt with no problems.
I disagree wholeheartedly that the EVO is too big for a belt clip.

I don't know how peeps carry their phones in pouches and so forth.

Seems to me that makes it all that much easier to drop, lose or forget.

I would feel weird having it in a holster. I dont even like carrying my blackberry on my hip. I prefer to hold it and rarely put it in my pocket

 

[Writermind]

So you just carry it around like your car keys?

Perhaps its just me, but I'm too absent minded for that. lol

I lose my car keys often and wouldn't want to risk doing the same with the EVO.

Not to mention dropping it which most everyone does with car keys.

Holster for me.

Plus, a hand carry pouch for a phone feels too much like a man purse. lol

I may go with a clip since I usually carry a PSP, Itouch, Keys, Gum, and two pens. My Palm Pre was able to find its way into my front pocket but the Evo may not.

I use to have my Treo on my hip.

I have a holster that carries my HTC Hero. It has elastic ends and folds over the top and is held by magnets. I have a friend that works at BB and they have the demo phone of the evo. I was able to slide the evo right into my holster. It fit perfectly. Remember it has elastic ends so is able to fit pretty much any size phone. Of course, if you put some type of rubber glove around the phone to protect it (like I do my Hero) it probably won't fit. Also just my 2 cents worth, the phone is pretty big, especially if you have been using a Hero or something similar in size. But I think with time I will get accustomed to it.

I remember when it was cool (ish) to wear a holster. I would suggest to you that you get a case, and/or Invisible Shield and avoid the belt.

 

[Writermind]

It still is cool to wear a holster, (I think)...but its all in how you play it.

Getting an Invisible Shield either way.

I usually like clips/holders, but will I look like I have a small flat screen on my hip?

It'll look like you have a small screen on your hip.

No, seriously, who cares? As long as it's held securely and is convenient to access quickly....that's all that matters to me.

They should make an iPad belt clip.

Not it's not too big, but it is definitely too cool for a belt holster. Did you not see last week's episode of the Office? Kelly doesn't like Indian guys because they wear their phones on their belts...them and Dwight.

 

[Writermind]

Seriously, that's how you're making your decision about belt clips?

Wow.

 

[theiphonewannabe]

Seriously, that's how you're making your decision about belt clips?

Wow.

Doesn't everyone?

Phone + belt clip = effective birth control

 

[Gekko]

please do yourselves a favor and just put the phone in your pocket. no belt clips or holsters please.

They should make an iPad belt clip.

Wear it on a chain like a big ass medallion.

 

[Writermind]

The device is only an inch or two longer than a Pre and that necessitates no holsters? lol

Laughable.

Hey though...if you don't want a holster, don't get one.

We can all still make up our 'own' minds regarding what we either like or don't like...I hope.
